Six new forensic scientists will be added at the state's Bureau of Criminal Investigation to speed up testing of rape kits for DNA, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Monday.

In December 2011, DeWine called on law enforcement agencies to submit with untested rape kits for free evidence testing. Four forensic scientists were added to boost Bureau of Criminal Investigation's focus on the old kits.
